Easy Steps To A Clear Skin

11 December, 2016

When I first started getting into makeup I never though of skincare as a must in my routine. I would just wash my face and be good to go. Over time I realized that the more I took care of my skin, the less makeup I would need. I'm sharing with you the steps that I never skip and that take no effort.

It's very hard, especially in the Winter, to remind ourselves to drink at least 2L of water a day. If you fill up a bottle and take it around with you all day it will make things much easier by taking little sips every now and then. Water will obviously keep your skin hydrated so you won't get as much texture because of the cold weather.

This might be a little TMI but earlier this year I had a little kidney issue and my doctor suggested that I should drink a lot of orange juice to basically pee more often. Surprisingly, I noticed that my skin cleared out from imperfections faster than ever. After a little research and a second doctor visit, I learned that Vitamin C has a lot of antioxidants that basically dissolve the oils that clog your pores.

Unlike makeup, we don't need a thousand eye creams or serums like we do with lipstick shades. If you have a simple yet effective skincare routine that works for you, don't even bother on changing it. I started to think I would need a lot of products for my routine, but mixing formulas very often could actually make things worse. Just stick to what you skin needs and vary the products every once in a while if you wish.

This is the hardest one for me, I'm not going to lie. I'm a mayor cheese lover (who isn't?) and basically have a cheese and spinach sandwich almost every day. The downside of this is that dairy products give me a lot of breakouts if I don't watch my intake. I don't drink cow milk or basically any other dairy product other than cheese, so I have to choose pretty well how many sandwiches I'm having for the week.

I know that brushes look so pretty displayed on an empty candle jar on our vanities, but think of all the bacteria and dust floating around them. You either have to keep them covered somewhere else or wash them even more frequently, like twice a week, at least for face ones. If you're feeling lazy just think of all the dirt that you're applying to your face. Doesn't sound good.
